A complaint  over the conduct of  the recently appointed  director of the National Charity Lottery (LNB)  Gloriela Del Río has been lodged with the Attorney General of the Administration,  by the lawyer Ernesto Cedeño

He said Friday that  the official “weakens the rules of transparency and  legally it is not feasible to prevent obtaining information on the programs developed by public entities, " they are public access, according to the law."

A whole controversy has been unleashed in the National Charity Lottery, and there is talk of hoarding books, the suspension of books already assigned and even threats to silence complaints.

These are large bags and suitcases, not exactly full of clothes, and this is also not  at the airport registration desk, but one of the agencies of the National Charity Lottery reports  La Prensa

According to the Ángela Ruiz Wallet, there are photos of people who work with them and they are the ones who remove large amounts of notebooks that are taken directly to the political center of San Miguelito. Recent VarelaLeaks reports claim that selling rights of books of lottery tickets have become political trophies that ex-president Juan Carlos Varela used to gain support for his party in the Legislature.

Ruiz, who sells  National Lottery, tickets  says that there are several frontmen who make up this network allegedly hoarding or controlling the sale of chances and official tickets. She e warns that books are being canceled, even for people with disabilities, and that they have sought mechanisms to cover irregularities.

Deputy Juan Diego Vásquez says it is  s inexplicable that the information on who owns the selling rights of books is confidential, especially if political leaders handle books of tickets, as reported by the newspaper La Prensa.
